SwiftUI iOS NavigationLink Swift

I've been working on this all day and Could someone explain I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm encountering an issue with SwiftUI's `NavigationLink` on my iPhone 14 where the state does not update correctly after dismissing a modal view. I have a parent view with a `NavigationLink` that presents a detail view modally. When I dismiss the detail view, I expect some state changes in the parent view to reflect immediately, but it seems like the state isn't updating as intended. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```swift struct ParentView: View { @State private var isDetailPresented = false @State private var statusMessage = "" var body: some View { VStack { Text(statusMessage) NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(statusMessage: $statusMessage), isActive: $isDetailPresented) { Text("Show Details") } } .onAppear { // Reset status message when the parent view appears statusMessage = "" } } } struct DetailView: View { @Binding var statusMessage: String var body: some View { Button("Complete Action") { statusMessage = "Action Completed!" // Dismiss the view } } } ``` I have verified that the `statusMessage` updates correctly within the `DetailView`, but when I dismiss the view, the `ParentView` does not reflect these updates. I have tried using the `.onDisappear` modifier on `DetailView`, but it seems that the state updates still aren’t propagating as expected. The behavior is inconsistent; during some test runs, the state updates correctly, but other times it doesn’t. I also checked for any potential retain cycles or misuse of `@State` and `@Binding`, but everything seems correct. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a known workaround or best practice to ensure that state updates propagate reliably between these views on iOS 16? My development environment is Windows. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. Thanks in advance! Thanks for your help in advance! Cheers for any assistance!
